CCB 5K

27th Sep 2013

April 27th, a date I will never forget. That was the date when all I worked for showed its final product. For months I wrote, talked, convinced, thought and worked pretty hard on the preparation of the CCB5K.
Regarding the CCB5K I&acute;ll give you a brief summary of it. as my personal project in 10th grade, I decided to start an active campaign promoting the athletism in my school (which is pretty lame BTW). My main goal was, and IS right now, to gain consciousness of why athletism and sports in general are important. I now had the goal, I still needed something to start, so I said, why not a race? So I decided to do the CCB5K, an entirely recreational 5km race around my school.
So, long story short. I started working side by side with my menthor, Edgar Jurado (PE teacher) and help from all the school. In the end everything went great and had over a hundred participants.
The CCB5K is not a one time thing, next year it is going to be done again bigger and better, as well as several other activities promoting the Athletism and other sports in the school community.
Cheers
